Attention ALL Athletes:
***All Athletic Packets from the 2023-2024 school year will expire on May 30, 2024. Parents/guardians can complete the Athletic Packet for all 2024-2025 sports seasons (summer 2024, fall, winter, spring) by going to your school's SportsNet site listed below.
Athletic Clearance
First time users will need to set-up an account (you must have your student’s Identification Number to create an account; incoming students will receive their Student Identification Numbers from the District Office both on the registration letter & on the summer census letter). Returning users should enter their previously selected username (email) & password to log-in. Each student can only have one account. After the packet is completed & submitted, a confirmation email will be sent from SportsNet.
Physicals that have not yet expired (were completed within the last year) and are on file in the Health Office, can be used until they expire and do not need to be resubmitted. Physicals must be completed by a physician with a Doctor Of Medicine, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner degree in order for clearance to be renewed.
Please ensure the Date of Exam, Physician Signature & Stamp are included on the Medical Examiner’s Statement (physical) form. Paper forms may be submitted to your school’s
Health Office although electronic submission of forms is highly encouraged.
Physical Form
You may log back into SportsNet at any time during the year to upload a new physical or to complete the
Student/Adult Driver Application Form.
**Student athletes must be cleared through SportsNet before they can participate in athletics!
If your athlete is due for a physical exam but you are unable to schedule one, you may request an extension note from their physician. The note must state that the athlete is medically cleared for athletics through (date of upcoming physical). This will allow us to extend their clearance in SportsNet.
Any questions about medical clearance, please contact your site
Health Aide. Families who are unable to pay for a physical exam should also contact the
Health Aide. Any other questions about sports, please contact your site

Please make sure you Yondr your phone or show your pink pass at the start of your school day to your teachers.
1) For every five (5) Yondr passes you receive for not having a phone or pink card, you will be assigned to one detention.
2) Loaner pouches are available on a first come, first serve basis. Note: There is a $25 fine if your pouch is lost, vandalized, or not returned.
3) If you borrow a loaner Yondr pouch three (3) times, you will be assigned to one detention.
4) If you forget your Yondr pouch but you check in your cell phone in the morning, this will not count towards your Yondr record.
5) Did your parents/guardians take your phone away? TELL US...or bring a note signed by your parents, the administrative team will confirm the information before issuing you a temporary no phone pass.
6) If you are on campus, you are required to be Yondr'ed. This also includes during lunch and NAS periods. Violation to this will result in a confiscation of Yondr/phone and consequences will be assigned.
